My new Melbourne Tool Company planes need a home (and a sharpen :P) so I found a place in my small #workshop where I can easily display them in a simple plane till and have them on hand for day-to-day use. No plans this time, just making it up as I go and trying to practice as many different uses for them as I can come up with during the build. To be clear, I *am* using some power tools, this is more about getting some practice in where I can. I am starting to enjoy my #handtools and will continue to find excuses to use them in project for a while, though judging by my butchering of the Japanese pull saw usage I have a VERY long way to go :P MTC Planes are available from @Timbecon in Australia they are not yet available overseas. Regardless of brand, I highly recommend adding this combo to your kit if you are a power tool woodworker like me as they are very handy to have on hand.

A couple weeks ago, I was given an old Stanley 220 block plane as part payment for a job I did. However, it needed some work beyond my skill to restore, so I sent it to the talented Mat at @Saw-IT and they not only did a cracking job fixing it up, but restored a Stanley 102 at the same time AND made a gorgeous silky oak box turning them into a nice block plane box set to giveaway and pay it forward to someone else. HOW TO ENTER: Simply subscribe to both our channels and comment #PlaneBoxSet on this video or on @Saw-IT 's Silky Oak Box Build Video (https://youtu.be/L1ZOKJxc9lY) and this stunning set could be yours. These tools are sharp, tuned up and ready for work or left to look good in the box. There is only one catch, Australia only sorry due to postage.
